What? Older than 6,000 years? Maybe a god put them there to fool us all.

Or the estimate of the age is bogus.

How would the age of the foot print be determined?

Two right feet from different individuals? Or the same individual, once just walking, once carrying a heavy load, like a big load of meat?

It depends on the probable age and the circumstances of fossilization, but could be carbon dating (although this one's too old for that), thermoluminescence, stratigraphic correlation or argon-argon. They can also date the actual fossils found around the footprints.

Fossilized?...only after 50,000 years...I would have though the mineralization would have taken much longer.

Is there a minimum span of time for the fossilization to occur?...it was only 50,000 years....out in the open, subject to weathering.

I am not an archaeologist, but from what I know the footprint must be covered with something before being weathered for fossilization to occur. The dating methods often involve dating the soil deposits over the footprint.

Namcheju-gun

I had a Namcheju-gun.

It kept jamming.

No, two right feet from the same individual.

Back then they couldn't afford left feet.

'Twas a luxury.

Some of the Norinco do too. (Trade the stamped parts for milled parts)

OH! I understand that...it seem the weathering would have stop the fossilization and the mineralization would have taken longer than 50k years...hopefully someone on FR can help.
